GoodReads Description: Velveteen Monroe is dead. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. But that’s not the problem.
The problem is she landed in purgatory. And while it’s not a fiery inferno, it’s certainly no heaven. It’s gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. Which doesn’t leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what’s really on her mind.
Bonesaw.
Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. And she’s figured out just how to do it. She’ll haunt him for the rest of his days.
It’ll be brutal... and awesome.
But crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen’s obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. A risk she’s willing to take—except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker.
Velveteen can’t help herself when it comes to breaking rules... or getting revenge. And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.
Why I'm Excited: Um, not to sound weird or anything, but serial killers are kind of my thing. And revenge stories. I like characters who hold grudges.
Velveteen comes out October 9, 2012 from Delacorte Books for Young Readers.

Sometimes you and I differ (like Puck/The Scorpio Races) and sometimes we're just alike. Yeah, creepy but I have a thing for serial killers and MC's with a revenge motive. : ) Cannot wait for Velveteen, even with the mediocre reviews I've browsed. : )
ReplyDeleteSerial Killers are your thing! You're funny! lol

I read through the first few chapters of this one before setting it aside, but I think I'm going to give it another chance. I hope you enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read this too! And I love this cover!
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the sound of this one because I would want to see where they take the whole purgatory concept. If you give this one a rave review I might just have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThis book is SO GOOD. I think you're going to love it! Just to warn you, though, the serial killer isn't the main plot.
ReplyDeleteYES to this book... but NO to that cover. YIKES STRIPES! :-)
